Yo Riot, why are you nerfing Lucian in 4.21?

He's balanced atm. The only complaint I have is how hard he can swing RNG with the potential of double IE crits. He's going to be trash tier after the nerfs. Mark my words.

This is the typical overnerfing pattern you always do. The champion was OP before, you nerfed it, people kept playing it because they are accustomed to it.

How about you be less ham-fisted with him? Look at how you handled Tristana. You were careful and as a result she's still viable. Lucian will not be.

Look at Yasuo, overnerfed into trash tier. Don't do this to another champion. You'd think you would have learned by now.

Wasn't Lucian incredibly popular at the IEM?

Yasuo wasn't nerfed into trash tier, he was brought down so the freelo's gave up on him, so the truly adept players still enjoy and win with him. Lucian wasn't in a healthy place compared to other carries as he could out duel comparably equipped carries. They are bringing him back in line. If they find he falls off too much they will give him QoL buffs.

Lucian is far from balanced. He is still very powerful.

Yasuo isn't trash tier if you're actually good with him.

While it's definitely a nerf, they seem to be fine tuning Lucian into what he feels like he should be - an all in ADC. He's less of a lane bully, though still strong, and is still amazing in the mid game, which is what they seem to have wanted from him.

They are nerfing his damage. I could see nerfing Q lane harass or something but they're actually nerfing his all-in.
